White Tiger in Pen & Ink

I'm still finishing off my Tamarin. As usual no time for much art as much as I'd love to spend more time. This was done in a Doctor's waiting room and oddly enough finished in a Doctor's waiting room. This is a tiger I used to have a lot to do with until 18 months ago. His name is Jahdu, a white Bengal Tiger imported from the USA back around 2002. For all their beauty white tigers aren't natural, and most are inbred so horribly they have lots of health problems and other serious defects. I enjoyed doing this drawing. Hope you like it.

At last it's all done. The paper wouldn't take any further layers but I'm pleased with the result

It's never easy on black paper but I really like using it. The details are slowly but surely coming to life in this work.

At the moment this is a seemingly mishmash of colours and shapes. I've taken this from a closeup image I took of Jahdu one of the white male tigers at Zion Wildlife Gardens. He's a stunning tiger but I wouldn't want to be in the same enclosure with him!
